many of you have already seen this photo, and are used to the horror.  I still get a chill whenever I look at it. ("no, no! I could never really look that bad, right?! it's somebody else...")

but Emily posted a "worst hair ever" question for her challenge this week - and I figure it can only do me good to be humbled every once in awhile. 

so this is for emily:

and yes, that IS me. it happened about two years ago.  when my mom saw the photo she said she would have passed me in the street and not known who I was. In fact, she said,  she would have not even thought I was female.
